Which is... fine by me, to be quite honest.

Yeah, I didn't really expect much different. More of the (admittedly quite enjoyable) same with some tweaks and improvements here and there. Nothing groundbreaking, which I'm okay with. It's probably the last one they'll be able to get away with not doing anything particularly innovative, though.

I was watching streams of it earlier last week.

It was kind of fun, as soon as they got copyright claimed they'd move on to a different site

What, you can't play more than one First Person Shooter per second?

not unless you're asian.

It could be like Acceleration.
You know, m/s/s, or metres per second per second.

knowing your fps² instead of your fps would be useful for...

i don't know, the only thing it really reflects is changes in performance, not how good or bad that performance actually is

for example, if you suddenly see a sudden high negative fps² followed by a high positive fps² it means there was a short drop in fps but you can only guess how high the fps actually was because you don't know the integration constant

It's comforting to know I'm not that autistic.

shut up, I did not take six years of calculus to waste the few opportunities I have to use it

I meant the entire argument not just you contribution.

You meet Dogmeat at the Red Rocket truck stop

Fucking kek

There's a corpse in a church with a trilby hat and gold watch that resembles a certain well-known game critic. I want to believe it's deliberate.

The game runs like garbage on my computer. Oh well.

I made some hot wasteland girl with maxed strength.

I'm gonna make the same boring old human I always make, a soon as all the patches, DLC and other shit is out.

See you next year.

Waiting to hear if it is good dunno if it can cater to my elfish brute sneaking on top of a table while I make grunting sounds needs.

Bland characters, story hook that fails to have any emotional impact, same ugly people/animations, same exciting "run backwards while shooting the monster" combat.

Really jarring going from Undertale to typical bethesda quality story in a sprawling open world. Also spoiled by undertale in that random little tricks (saving a donut half the game) paid off but the brotherhood of steel guy who recruits you doesnt seem to notice or care that you have a full suit of power armour already.

Still gonna play it for 80 hours or something though. Only 6 hours in so I'm hoping to find some cool stuff out there. Guns feel way better now at least and its nice to have colours other than brown/grey/green.

Wish people hadnt felt the need to spoil the end in OOC.

Dam it feels good to be a gangster


GOD DAM YOU MACCUS, I CLICKED ON YOUR SIG NOW I MUST PASS THE CURSE

Voiced protagonist and dialogue are bad and really killing any positive feelings I have for this game.

I'll wait until it goes on sale

Current breakdown of my deaths by cause:

Own grenade- 5%
Other People's Grenades- 1%
Land Mines- 5%
Oops Wandered Into A High Level Area; Got One Shot- 10%
Gravity- 15%
Failed Pick-Pocketing Attempt- 10%
Normal Enemy Who Happened To Have A Rocket Launcher- 40%
Bugs- 14%


Seriously though, rocket launchers just don't give a FUCK. (Currently 14 hours in.)

A lot of standard enemies have really strong weapons for seemingly no reason. I ran into a regular raider with a fat man and was extremely confused when I suddenly became dust upon walking into town

My little brother pre-ordered it for xbone (he's not a pcmasterrace) and I don't think I'd buy it myself even if I could right now.

I don't like how they dumbed down skills.

I think they're banking on settlements taking up most of your playtime and they don't really seem to work, tagging workers to go do things is bugged for me.

Spoiler:

Why does it seem like big games are so fucking simple now? It's like these companies make games specifically for 14 and under kids to enjoy; from what I've seen so far watching other people play it just seriously turns me off from this game (I'll still probably give it a play and like it when my brother gets his copy). I've been watching robbaz play a bit and he was playing on "hard" mode and still killed the starting deathclaw with a fucking pool cue.. and he wasn't even really getting hurt either. And even before then he had like 3-4 suits of power armor (albeit I dunno if it's even good or not, dunno much about the game still)

It just seems like it's easy for the sake of being easymode; I dunno maybe I'm just a debbie downer

The deathclaw in question is part of the intro questchain and supposed to be cinematic I'm sure, not an actual roadblock for players at gamestart.

As others have mentioned if you walk into the wrong area prepare for legendary super mutants spamming rockets and raiders with ridiculous laserguns.

Super Mutant Suiciders are hilarious.

Hear the ticking, drop everything and end him or he'll plaster your power suited ass into the next zip code

The frag mine mole rats are massive assholes, too.

They burrow just fine, and have no qualms about setting those mines off in your colon

I accidentally made my dude look like Roy Schneider with a goatee. The glasses make it worse. I'm ok with this. I'm having fun so far so fuck you guys.

Intelegence is still the best stat, with perception leting you apply the head-shots. Bugs are still ass without vats, vats somehow sucks more, and the difficulty curve of quests forces you to switch quest-chains like a juggler.

Game looks interesting but I'm going to wait until I can buy the game on PC for a price less than 113$ AUD.

79.95$ USD my ass.

Been considering buying, but ehhh
http://store.steampowered.com/app/377160/

Almost ALL of the top reviews are negative now that people have gone deeper into it...
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656 ... ed/377160/
http://steamcommunity.com/id/deepdarkfa ... ed/377160/


And judging by them this totally isn't the Fallout we all used to know

No more skills.
No more karma system.
No more diverse dialogue options.

I haven't even played it and it already feels way too dumbed down, oversimplified, like Wiznard said already it's a casual product aimed at 14 y.o. console owners.
I don't REALLY have a problem with that myself personally, seeing as DLCs and mods are coming next year, but still.

I was watching a friend stream it last night and I think she died to the same dude. Guy with a weird bird-cage helmet standing near a Nuka-Cola billboard?

full power-armor for me, but yeah

fuck that jerk

I've noticed that mist of the review hate is from people who want another fo2. Which would be great don't get me wrong. And ad hominim "its cod now" idiocy. It is a flawed game, but I expected skyrim with guns. I'm having fun so what the fuck ever.

Double post cuz phone.

Yes I think that cunt got me too. Was being mugged by ghouls there then boom. I'd thought a car went off.

I like how dangerous combat is.

I too had an experience with a fat man wielding raider.
Needless to say, I bit the dust

OH GOD

Also, looking at that now, the bird-cage thing I was seeing was probably the dude's half-broken pauldrons.

Naw, it was probably the chestplate.

Raider chestplates have a rebar superstructure.

I recently built a rec center in my dominion, will post pic laters. Are there any blueprints for prefabs to auto build nice neat houses? The only one I can do at the moment is a large metal shack and I'm using that like a dwarf fortress style dormitory.
I just don't like that the world map is small, karma system is gone and skills has been dumbed down. I just hope I get a good amount of quality to make up for that quantity. So far building my own castle is a plus.

Spoiler:

Ah, yep, that's the one.

I am kinda excited; even if I don't own the game yet, to see what kind of mods get released over the next couple of weeks.

Can you, like, DIY mod power armor with rebar and shit?
Or steal that rusty grungy looking raiders' power armor?

To what extent is armor customizable anyway?

Man I should get this game ASAP.

EDIT:
Nvm just opened the whole screenshot and looked at it. Looks interesting.

I had my first encounter with the birdcage fatman guy.

I fire a shot at a raider, and all of a sudden see what looks like a football flying towards me and hear a whistling noise.

Super mutant suiciders are the toppest of keks.
Dogmeat goes balls deep in a building, next thing I know I see a mini nuke go off, walk inside to see super mutant suicider has cleared the building of super mutants and dogmeat is panting happily.

Game got a lot more enjoyable in the Combat Zone. Impressively windy vertical map with multiple factions battling to the death is cool.

radroach power armor (spoilers maybe?)

Really like the design of the new 10mm pistol, makes me think of the old f1+2 one

1) Get Ninja perk for increased sneak attack crits
2) Get Gun Nut so you can put a silencer on your 10mm
3) Put some points in Sneak so you are better at sneakin'
4) Put some points in Gunslinger and Mister Sandman to increase your damage

I crouch walk through the game headshotting EVERYTHING. My 10mm can one-shot armored security bots as long as I'm abusing the awesome powers of BENDED KNEES

Enemies do this thing where they get a vague idea of where you are, but since they haven't found you yet (thanks, silencer!) you're still technically stealthed and still able to get those crits. So even if you draw aggro from everyone in an area, you can just sit there plinking at them and watching them all drop dead.

As a bonus Sneak makes it so you stop triggering all the goddamn tripwires and landmines that some asshole has dropped every 10 feet all over Boston holy shit.

TRIPWIRES YOU SAY
This was before Paladin Danse decided it would be a good idea to ignore the stay command and walk his powersuited ass through.
